Why AI Wonโt Replace Developers (at least until ~2030โ2033)
Weโre in the golden age of vibe-coding: people spinning up โSaaSโ apps and โtoolsโ in a weekend of prompting. But letโs be real, most of these vibe-coders have no idea what theyโre building or how it actually works. The result? AI-generated spaghetti ๐ฉ, shiny, fast, and utterly doomed when the first bug shows up.
Sure, my own productivity has skyrocketed ๐, Iโm easily 5ร faster now that I prompt instead of crawling Stack Overflow or reading docs.
But hereโs the truth: you canโt prompt your way through building a compiler, a kernel, or a database. Those still require real understanding, logic, architecture, and a brain that actually knows what a pointer is ๐ง .
So no, AI wonโt replace developers anytime soon. Itโll just amplify the gap, real engineers will build the future, while vibe-coders will vibeโฆ until their own code eats them alive โ ๏ธ.
